August 28, 2025
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create a filter in Jira:
- You can reach basic filters in any tab in Jira. For example, the board view allows you to filter data by assignee, parent, work type, label, status, and priority.
- In the left-side panel, you can find the general filters applicable to all data.
- Choose the pre-prepared options and click View all filters to set them on your own.
- Here you can filter by owner, group, or project. Or click Create filter to create it from scratch.
- You can switch between the Basic and JQL modes.
- In the Basic mode you can filter data by project, assignee, type, status, and more.
- JQL filters allow you to type a query of your own.
- Save your filtering and share data with other or export it.
